Maybe, one of the most famous things from Sweden is the beauty of its women. I didn't want to post about them earlier not to look like a pervert but, it is true, Swedish girls are really beautiful (generally speaking). Before travelling there, I thought it was more a legend than a reality, but I was surprised when I arrived and saw that it wasn't a lie. Here you have some pictures taken from www.karlstabo.se :

It is funny that I went to a concert at Globen, in Stockholm, without knowing that the stadium was the sun.

Check this out:

The Sweden Solar System is the world's largest model of our planetary system, at a scale of 1:20 million. The Sun is represented by the Globe arena in Stockholm, the largest spherical building in the world. The planets are placed and sized according to scale with the inner planets being in Stockholm and Jupiter (diameter 7.3 m) at the International airport Arlanda. The outer planets follow in the same direction with Saturn in Uppsala and Pluto in Delsbo, 300 km from the Globe. At each planet station, exhibits provide information about astronomy and the natural sciences, and also about related mythology and culture. The Stockholm Visitor's Board (former Stockholm Information Service) was a sponsor of the project in the beginning, like several museums, theaters, parks and scientific institutions.

If I knew about it before coming back from Sweden, I'd tried to look for the rest of the planets. It is a quite curious fact. These Swedes are crazy! :P

About this blog and Mister Potato

For those who don't know me: I'm the oldest toy that is still being sold. I have a potato body where you can attach funny faces and combine them the way you want.
I've appeared in films (Toy Story, e.g.), I have plenty of different models, I've travelled a lot,...
I like to travel and I was an Erasmus in Sweden, that's the reason of "Herr Potatis", that is my name in Swedish.
